World Cup 2023: Want Sanju? Who is number four? Here are the headaches for India in the team selection
But there are some people in the history of cricket who have never bowled a single no ball. It may seem amazing, but five people have achieved this feat in their career. Let’s check who they are. Former West Indies legend Lance Gibbs is one of them. He has played 79 Tests and 3 ODIs and is the first spinner to take 300 wickets in Tests. He did not win the Nobel even once in his illustrious career.
Lance Gibbs played at a time when technology was not as advanced as it is today. But the fact that he did not bowl a single no ball is a testament to his bowling prowess. The second player is Ian Botham. England’s legendary all-rounder Ian Botham has also not bowled a no ball in his career.
He took 383 wickets in 102 Tests. This will include 27 five-wicket performances and four 10-wicket performances. He took 145 wickets in 116 ODIs.

It is amazing that despite such a long and illustrious career, he has never won the Nobel Prize. He has scored 5200 runs in Tests and 2113 runs in ODIs. His legendary career included 14 centuries and one double century. Former Pakistan pacer and World Cup winning captain Imran Khan has also not bowled a no ball. He took 362 wickets in 88 Tests.
He took 23 five-wicket hauls and six 10-wicket hauls. He has taken 182 wickets from 175 ODIs. But he did not win even once. He took five wickets only once in ODIs. Pakistan won the World Cup in 1992 under Imran Khan.
Imran had the ability to perform decisively with the bat as well. After his retirement he became active in politics and became the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Former Aussie pacer Dennis Lillee is another on the list. Dennis Lillee was a batsman’s nightmare as he bowled with great discipline. He has never bowled a no ball in his career. Lilly is one such accurate bowler. The player took 355 wickets from 70 Tests.
The player who took five wickets 23 times took 10 wickets 7 times. Lilly also has 103 wickets from 63 ODIs.
He managed to get a standing ovation without throwing a single noball. The fifth star is Kapil Dev. Kapil Dev is the only Indian bowler to be named in this rare record. Under Kapil Dev, who was a pace all-rounder, India won the ODI World Cup title for the first time.
This was in 1983. Kapil has taken 434 wickets in 131 Tests and 253 wickets in 225 ODIs. But noball has been thrown even once.
